Looks like Apple may be listening to its European customers after all ... http://www.guardian.co.uk/online/new...118474,00.html iPod mini outcry prompts price review Apple Computer is set to review the UK pricing of its iPod mini music pla…

I thought about it but clearly the new sweet spot in the iPod range is the 15 gig. It is hard to tell from photos but the mini whilst nice looking, seems to have quite a smaller screen - I think the standard size iPod is going to be better overall, …

I wasnt a Mac user when the original iPod was launched but looking around the web these past few days it appears Apple have scored a massive own goal here with these iPod minis - the Mac community seems in general revolt over the pricing.

Uh oh, forum tidy police have arrived! Its in the digital Hub forum officer because the iPod is part of the digital hub and we where told to come here by the moderator the other day when we where discussing the iPod in the future hardware forum..…

You cant buy them yet, just pre-order, not available till February in the US and April in the ROTW (Rest of the World)...... Sounds like they will only just have started the factories on the production runs ....

The other very important angle on all of this that I dont see discussed is that on the WMA platform you have a whole host of companies offering different hardware, big, small, expensive, cheap, ugly, etc. etc. But on the Apple AAC/Fairplay platform …

I agree. It seems to me that the whole point of the iPod mini, was that it would effectively clean up on the entry level market. And more importantly convince the vast majority of consumers - who have yet to buy any form of MP3 player - to buy. …

I am not sure I like the new design. The shape seems a bit more like a bottle of perfume - compared to the cigarette packet shape of the original. The aluminum cover seems a step back to cheap 70's sci-fi movies and their vision of what a future gad…

Perhaps the US market is the loss leader and the rest of the world is paying for it all - it certainly starts to look like it when you consider the price differentials. No way do local taxes make up that difference. VAT is a lot lower than 17% in ot…

That is a $127 price difference on something that has no tarrifs. Try again.

P.S. As to crowded markets with giants at play, the computer market looks a bit more cut throat than the STB market don't you think?
